LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - I can think of no other way to begin this blog post than being completely honest: I hate guns. More accurately, I think, I am afraid of guns. I have no qualms with the second amendment, but the last few days leading up to tonight's police academy class have filled me with a mixture of about 25 percent excitement and 75 percent anxiety.

Founder Denny Reichard does his gunsmithing there, doing action smoothing work that’s as good as you’ll find anywhere in the world. The resident teaching crew, for the most part, are gun geezers, and they carry classic Smith & Wesson large caliber revolvers. Well, “when in Rome…” For the first of...

* FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WANE) - Indiana's Governor and one of Fort Wayne's former mayors see eye-to-eye on many issues. Gun control is not one of them. On February 23, the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence released its annual report card on gun control laws. Indiana failed.

INDIANAPOLIS -- A City-County councilor said he wants to ensure Indianapolis won't pass ordinances limiting gun owners' rights. Councilor Ed Coleman drafted a proposal he intends to present on Monday partly in response to Otis McDonald v. Chicago, a case now before the U.S. Supreme Court, 6News' Joanna Massee reported.

In a world where the average citizen’s Second Amendment rights are constantly being undermined, we need all the help we can get. For the time being, we’re safe — at least in Indiana.
